By now, you must be excited to find the
right freelancer for your business.

So let’s get started!

Why You Need Freelancers?

You cannot be a jack of all trades when it
comes to business. Put, you cannot do everything and need to learn to delegate
your work effectively.

That’s when you need the help of
freelancers. Freelancers help you complete various tasks depending upon their
expertise.

So for instance, if you are starting an
Amazon affiliate site where you need a content writer to write all the content
for your site, you need to hire a freelance content writer who is proficient in
writing product reviews.

Similarly, you can find a freelancer for
every possible task that you could imagine. Let’s see what all tasks you can
assign to a freelancer.

What Tasks Can You Assign to
Freelancers?

Running an affiliate site can be hard. For
that reason, you can hire freelancers to outsource all your work. Here are a handful
of the gigs available in the market to outsource your work.

Graphic creation

Ads creation

Content writing

Link building

Keyword research

Website optimisation

Video editing

8 Best Sites to Hire
Freelancers

Now that you know what all freelancing gigs
are available in the market to outsource, let’s see where on the web can you
find these freelancers.

1) Upwork

Upwork is the only best website to hire a
freelancer that I have been using to hire content writers for some of my
affiliate sites.

I’m able to find a rookie to intermediate
writers all within the Upwork platform. Not only that, you have plenty of other
categories like app developer, software engineer, sales consultant, copywriter,
UX designer, logo designer, SEO expert, and the list goes on and on.

How
Upwork Works?

The first step is to post your job with all the requirements. Later, UpWork will send you a list of all the candidates who applied for the job. You can then check through their profiles and find the best and the relevant ones.

Once the project is finalised, the freelancer will start working on the project, and after completion, you need to release the payment.

Upwork is perfect for people who want to
hire for small term tasks and want full transparency with what’s going on with
the project.

2) Fiverr

Fiverr is another great platform to hire
freelancers. Fiverr is popular for it’s cheap and reliable services. The
cheapest you can get on the platform is $5 per gig.

If I talk about the categories available on
Fiverr, you have graphics & design, digital marketing, writing &
translation, music & audio, programming, video animation and much more
available.

Fiverr also have a pro service where you
get highly skilled people with verified accounts. These are premium gigs with
premium quality work delivered to you.

In Fiverr Pro, you won’t get any $5 gigs
because these are verified gigs that start at $100 and goes even up to $1000.

How
Fiverr Works?

In the search bar, type in the keyword for
which you are looking for a freelancer (e.g., logo designer, content writer).
Next, find the gigs that you feel suits your needs.

Finally, check reviews, turnaround time and
order the gig. After the seller delivers the order, Fiverr asks you to issue
the payment. The entire process is smooth and easy.

3) Freelancer

Freelancer.com is the first online website
where you can hire a freelancer for your online business. Anything you’d want
to outsource you have freelancers available on Freelancer.com

Surprisingly, they do offer 24/7 chat
support to clear all your queries, and you only have to pay the money once 100%
of work is delivered.

Just like Upwork and Fiverr.com, you can
find anyone here right on this platform. Photoshop, graphic designing, 3D
animation, content writing, proofreading, social media marketing, web scraping
are only some the service out of the many available.

Fun
Fact: Over 33 million freelancers are working on
the site.

How
Freelancer.com Works?

The process is very much similar to that of
Guru.com and Upwork.

Firstly, you have to post your job with all
the requirements. After which, freelancers will apply for that job, and the
platform will send you notifications regarding the same.

You can then select the right freelancer
which suits the job profile. Finally, after freelancer submits the work, you
only have to pay if you’re satisfied with the delivered work.

4) Guru.com

With over three mn+ freelancers available
on the Guru platform, it’s a fantastic way to find and hire freelancers
quickly.

One unique thing about Guru.com is you can
also hire freelancers to do technical and academic work. For instance, you can
hire engineers, architects, lawyers, business and finance gurus.

On top of that, you also have the
freelancers that are available on other platforms like programmers, artists,
developers, writers, and video designers.

One thing which I love about Guru.com is,
you can pay the freelancers when they complete milestones or pay them for task
completion. If you want, you can also make hourly payments or recurring ones
the choice is all yours.

How
Guru.com Works?

All you have to do is, create your free
account on Guru.com and place a job posting on the platform. Later people will
apply for that job with samples of their work and depending on that you can
hire them. Lastly, release the payment the way you like and rest the platform
would handle all.

5) 99Designs

So far, I was talking about freelancing
platforms where you can find all types of freelancers. However, now we will
talk about niche sites where you’d be able to find expert freelancers, and
99Designs is one of them.

They also have a Pro version where the team
connects you with the right designer of your choice plus you also get dedicated
support from a customer success manager. Furthermore, all additional perks for
which you have to pay recurring money you get for free with the Pro version.

The professional version is for large teams
and agencies and not for the individuals.

How
99Designs Works?

The first step is to tell the team what
type of design, graphic, illustration, or logo you need.

After that, 99Designs will help you connect
with the designer that match your needs, or you also have an option to run a
contest where designers will do the work, and you can pick the best one.

Once you are satisfied with the work of the
designer, you can then directly talk to them for future projects.

Disclaimer: The services provided by 99Designs are expensive. However, if you
have the budget, I’d highly recommend you to try them out.

6) SEOClerks

You cannot rank an affiliate site without
doing proper SEO, and that’s when SEOClerks can help you out.

Dedicated to only SEO gigs, SEOClerks is a
fantastic marketplace that I have been using every month to automate my SEO
work.

From comment links to PBNs, you get
everything in between. Fortunately, the gigs start for as low as $1.

Till now I have ordered profile, comments,
PBNs, web2.0’s, social bookmarking and article submission links. I’m highly
satisfied with the type of service the sellers provide on this platform.

Of course, if you’re looking for a
high-quality service, this isn’t the right platform for you. However, to get
things done quickly that too at an effective price, you should consider
spending some money on the platform and order a couple of SEO gigs.

6) iWriter

Just like you have 99Designs for graphics
and video animation, iWriter is an online marketplace to buy premium content
started back in the year 2011.

Not only articles but you can also order
press release, blog posts, ebooks, article re-writes, and ebooks on the writer
platform.

On iWriter, you can order content in two ways – the first one is, custom content where you post a job and writers send you the articles, and you select the best ones out of them.

The second option is, you can directly buy articles that are already written by the writers and suit your requirements.

Rates of the article depend on the type of
writer you hire to complete the job. At iWriter, the freelance writers are
divided into four categories – standard, premium, elite, elite plus.

You can order any niche content for your
affiliate sites. Be it tech gadgets, health, or home and kitchen you get
high-quality content within days after ordering.

The process of ordering content through
iWriter is pretty straightforward and almost similar to other websites listed
here.

7) ProBlogger Jobs

If you can’t find a good freelance writer
on iWriter (which you’ll), you have a great alternative – i.e., ProBlogger
Jobs.

ProBlogger Jobs is a marketplace created by
Darren Rose, who is the founder of ProBlogger.com – one of the biggest and the
most popular blogging website on the Internet.

The marketplace is only made to hire
professional freelance, part-time, full-time and contract writers.

If you’re looking to hire a native English
writer with great skills for your affiliate website, you should post a job on
ProBlogger Jobs because it’s free.

The marketplace is built on the ProBlogger
website so you won’t get any notifications for new applicants. Instead, in this
case, you have to enter your email address where people can send you samples
and contact you.

Once you like the work of any freelancer
you can directly deal with them and ProBlogger Jobs will not interfere in
between, unlike other freelancing platforms.

Disclaimer: To post jobs on ProBlogger Jobs,
you need to pay $70 for a 30-day job posting.

8) OnlineJobs.ph

If you hire freelancers, you might have
come across this website for sure. OnlineJobs.ph is a Filipino job board where
you find freelancers only from the Philippines.

There are two reasons why people from the
US and other countries use this platform often.

Firstly, Philippines freelancers are highly
skilled in doing their job.

Secondly, they charge fewer fees compared
to a native English writer.

All and all you get premium quality service
at a dirt low price compared to Upwork and Freelancer.com.

Similar to Upwork and Guru.com, you have
all the services listed on the site. To name a few, you have project
management, advertising, WordPress developer, finance management, writing, web
development, and the list continues.

For hiring a freelancer, you have to post a
job or search resume. Find the right staff member for the project. Lastly, hire
and manage them to get the job done.

Final Words

Hiring the right freelancer is a skill which can only be mastered with experience and time. The websites listed here would help you automate the process by hiring the right people for your business.

If you want to grow fast, get the right people to do stuff for you.

For making your affiliate site success, you
need an excellent writer and a good SEO link builder. For writers, you can use
ProBlogger Jobs and for SEO use Upwork or Freelancer.com.
